I never understood why boxed versions are equally priced as downloads.
Shouldn't they a bit more expensive due to the physical hard drives, boxes and shipping?
Maybe because of the costs of the server services?

On NI’s site for my upgrade from ku9 to ku12 collectors it is 299.50 and only called “upgrade” in the first dropdown for download, there is no indication that a hdd will be sent or shipped. I can also select a “upgrade from Komplete 2-12” which is download or product box in the second dropdown and that is 499.50. So the hdd is an additional 200?

No, one is an update from an ultimate version, the other an upgrade from standard

Ugh I’m so confused. I’d like another hdd just to save on having to download even though the string brass and woodwind vst’s are download only. I now can’t seem to be able to sort out what version I can get. If I already have Komplete 9 Ultimate as a crossgrade, a copy of Komplete 12 when a I bought my mk3, probably another copy of Komplete 12 when a I get a s61, what version do I need to select to get Komplete 12 ultimate collection edition? The difference between 299 as an upgrade va the 499 as either an upgrade OR a download is confusing.

Ok I saw (and I’m on a mobile now) below when I try to choose a product box “
As an owner of KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE Crossgrade you qualify for the Upgrade.
This upgrade only works for users of KOMPLETE 2-12.

According to sweetwater the upgrade for 299 includes a hdd.

I need some coffee!

Usually, you get the Komplete 12 Select version, when you buy hardware, if you do not buy the specific package with standard or higher versions.
So, most likely, you will not own Komplete 12 standart and could not upgrade from that.

As Matt said earlier, the shop seems a bit buggy.

As an owner of Ultimate 9, you can get the upgrade to ultimate 12 Collectors Edition for 299 (NI-Shop), but only as a download.

Upgraded to collector edition
I'm still downloading and have to sell my maschine expansions

Strange move from NI to 'punish' buyers of expansions

I think there is a possibility to have a slightly different discount system ONLY for Expansions case, so that those who already have some Expansions can have some benefit. Not sure, but just a thought.

What you mean? Because you are buying the expansion twice when you by CE edition? I dont think its a punish. Its just how the product portfolio is structured. I have been on just expansions and Komplete select for years offsetting moving to Komplete. I am finally moving to it because I wanted to use a few of the other products and its worth just upgrading to Ultimate than buying individually. But no one says you have to upgrade. You could just say, I will only buy this one item I need when it goes on sale at 50% over time. It actually makes more financial sense to spend $50 every 6 months over a 4 year period than spending $500 in one big plop at once.
